CHRISTMAS CARDS ALL YEAR ROUND CHALLENGE - JULY - CHRISTMAS/HOLIDAY

Hi there everyone - well I'm really chuffed to tell you that the CCAYR challenge blog is up and running again. Our lovely leader Tracey Orchard has handed over the reins to the wonderful Deanne Saunders who was the absolute original creator yonks ago in 2008!Anyway here's my card for the DT this month and our theme is Anything Christmas/Festive Holiday related - what a great way to restart a challenge.

There are two prizes up for grabs - the first one is a $10 Gift Certificate from Imagine That and the second prize is .....

I do hope that you can enter our challenge again - we are all so glad to be back and have some new DT members so check out the blog when you pop over to add your card!!!

Sorry I haven't given you the ingredients but I'm tryping this (literally) whilst I'm on me jollies. I wanted to schedule it yesterday but the maestro had loaded the pic onto my laptop at home and not onto this one sooooooooooo I'm a few hours late!

We are having a fab time with lots of giggles as usual, we've been married forever and we know exactly what sets us off so we have to avert our eyes if something is comical because if we look at each other then that's it - total collapse! Had a gorgeous choccy cake for my birthday on Tuesday ... and we ate it all too!

Oh well must be off, time and tide wait for no man! Thinking of going kayaking - yup and the moon is made of Stilton!!!!! Don't forget to enter the CCAYR challenge - you know you'll be grateful come December when you have a nice little stash of cards waiting to be sent out.Take care all of you and thanks again for the good wishes about my wrist, it really is loads better now - mind you the sun does seem to be helping all of our poor old bones! :o)

About Me

I have been crafting since I was very small and started making my dolls clothes when I was 8. I have been married to my hubby for almost 49 years and even made my wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses. I still have the pattern - and the dress. We have had cats all our married life but we lost Ebony in January 2012 and Misty in February 2012. A huge feral cat used to own us but sadly, he died in August 2012. He was such a character for a feral cat and, even though we couldn't touch him, we knew he sort of liked us! We decided we wouldn't take on any more pets but in March 2013 a female cat and her 'husband' started living in the garden and despite being ignored they wouldn't leave so ... in short.... they both adopted us and they have now been neutered and chipped and once again we have fur babies! In 2015 an abandoned long haired puss adopted us and he's gorgeous! I will never know how they knew we would take them in - perhaps it's the large tattoo on our foreheads saying 'MUG'!! We wouldn't swap them for the world though.
